AI coding tools pricing, verified
We track pricing for AI coding tools straight from each vendor's official pricing page, not from press releases or secondhand roundups. Vendors in this space adjust prices and usage limits often, and a number quoted in a months-old blog post has a good chance of being wrong by the time you read it. Every entry in the table below links to a per-tool page with the full plan breakdown, key usage limits, and a dated history of every price change we've caught, each one sourced to where we found it. The Verified column tells you when we last confirmed a tool's numbers against the vendor's live page.

Recently changed from our log
- billingWindsurf (now Devin Desktop) — SWE-2 (launched September 10, 2026) replaced SWE 1.7 as the free model on the pricing page: Pro now lists "Free use of SWE-2", noted as "Free in Devin Desktop and CLI through October 10, 2026". The Pro quota line now names SpaceXAI alongside OpenAI, Claude and Gemini and moves leading open-source models into the quota. Observed on this date. Prices unchanged: Free $0, Pro $20/mo, Max $200/mo, Teams $80/mo base plus $40/mo per full dev seat, Enterprise on quote.Sep 18, 2026
- rebrandKimi Code — Moonshot's new membership plans are live ("The new membership plan is now available"). Paid tiers are renamed Plus, Pro, Max and Ultra at unchanged prices ($19 / $39 / $99 / $199 monthly; $15 / $31 / $79 / $159 a month billed annually, or $180 / $372 / $948 / $1,908 a year). Allowances are now shown as relative agent-credit multiples (Plus baseline, Pro 2x, Max 5x, Ultra 10x) instead of fixed credit counts, every paid tier says "Kimi Code available" with no per-tier Kimi Code multiplier, and the waitlist buttons are gone. The page does not map old names to new ones; we matched them by identical price. Moonshot's Kimi Code benefits page still says separating Kimi and Kimi Code benefits is "coming soon".Sep 18, 2026
- billingJetBrains AI — The buy page now offers monthly billing alongside yearly ("Yearly billing — save 2 months"): AI Pro is $10/user/month or $100/user/year, AI Ultimate $30/user/month or $300/user/year. Credits (3 / 10 / 35 per 30 days), the USD 1.00 credit value and 12-month top-up validity are unchanged. AI Enterprise stays annual-only at $720/user/year. Observed on this date.Sep 18, 2026
- billingGemini Code Assist — Correction on our side, not a vendor change: Google Cloud's Gemini pricing comparison marks local codebase awareness as included in both Standard and Enterprise; we had listed it as Enterprise-only. Prices unchanged: Standard $22.80/user/mo monthly or $19 annual, Enterprise $54 monthly or $45 annual.Sep 18, 2026

How we verify
Primary sources only. For us that means the vendor's own pricing page, plus official blog posts and changelogs when a change is announced before the page updates. We never take a number from a third-party article, a comparison site, or a cached copy. If we can't confirm a figure on a page the vendor controls, it doesn't go in the table.
Some pricing pages make this harder than it should be. A few render prices with JavaScript, so a plain fetch returns nothing useful; others show different figures depending on your region. For those we check manually in a real browser from a US connection and keep a screenshot as backup, so a later dispute about what the page said on a given date has evidence behind it.
Any change to a price, to included usage, or to plan structure (a plan added, removed, or renamed) gets a changelog entry on that tool's page. Each entry carries the date we confirmed the change and a link to the source where we confirmed it. Silent limit cuts count too; those are the changes vendors are least likely to announce and the ones most likely to bite you mid-billing-cycle.
On schedule: we re-check the five most-used tools weekly and the rest biweekly. When a tool's verified date is more than 21 days old, the table above flags it with a "re-verification pending" badge. That badge doesn't mean the numbers are wrong, only that we haven't confirmed them recently enough to vouch for them, so treat that row with more caution until the date refreshes.
